Peace OUT Summer School!

I was up until 2:00 this morning stuffing in all of the crap I could into a 10 page paper. Don't get me wrong- I knew what I was talking about (and it was mainly all about my opinion anyway) but TEN PAGES?! Come on Dr. T! I had a 4 page paper due in class at 7:30 this morning, then I turned the 10 page paper into my other professor's "box" and I was outta there! I think I did really well in both classes. I'm expecting A's... so we'll see.

Now that I have a couple of months school free, I can hopefully keep up on blogging!

Dylan finally went back to work last Sunday. And when I say finally, I mean FINALLY!! He had over a month of R&R while I busted my but to get to class EVERY morning at 7:30, write 8+ papers, and babysit nearly every day. All he did was sleep and go fishing... I swear. I shouldn't complain too much because he did take me out to lunch a lot :)

I'm really thankful that he found a new hobby, fishing, to put all of his energy into. It was a really nice way for him to unwind after his deployment. He has even taken me a couple of times! OH! And he bought me a pink fishing pole :) :) :) I'm getting pretty good at fishing thanks to him. We went to a beautiful river/creek last weekend about an hour and a half away from our hometown. We packed a picnic lunch and stayed there allllllll day long (which = sunburn. but that's ok.) We swam and fished and basked in the sun! I even caught my VERY FIRST FISH!!!!

It was so funny because the fish were SOOOO friendly there. They would swim right up to you in the water. You could almost catch them! When I felt a tug on my line I started yelling "DYL! DYL! SOMETHING'S THERE!!" And he, of course, started laughing. He gave me directions on how to reel it in, and once I saw it, I said "Oh my gosh! Poor fish! Dyl, the hook is stuck in his mouth!" An older man and his grandson were near and he started laughing, then said something like "Is this your first fish?" Ha. YES!

Anyway, Dylan and I have just been taking it easy and spending our summer doing silly things like that. Next post will be full of pictures I hope! I'll try!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

To My Dad

Happy (late) Fathers Day, Dad. You're the best man that I know and I'm honored that I have you as a role model. Love you!

What I've been up to lately:

1. I've been so tired because I'm in summer school and I have class at 7:30 EVERY morning. Only 2 weeks left though!!

2. Dylan has been busy putting a lot of his free time towards fishing. Which I am SO thankful for. I'm glad he has something like that to do that can relax him. He puts good energy into it and even bought me a pink fishing pole and fishing license... ha!

3. I've been babysitting for the Murphy family and Dossett family during the week. These are my summer babysitting jobs- and who am I kidding- they are the families I babysit for year round! Love them both so much. I feel so comfortable around them and their kids are.the.cutest!

4. Even though I'm taking 2 classes this summer and it is extremely hard to get up out of bed that early in the morning, I AM making excellent grades and working really hard which will really help my gpa. I'm glad I have a positive attitude about it.

5. Yesterday I went shopping with one of my very favorite aunts. She is so fun. We had lunch at Olive Garden and then hit up the mall and target. Everything I bought was on sale and I had the best time being able to spend some money and not feel guilty about it!

6. Things with Dylan (besides fishing) are going pretty good. We've had our down moments. He doesn't really have a lot of motivation to get up and get things done right now (before he goes back to work.) Which drives me crazy because if I were him I would've taken care of everything the week I got back so that I could relax and FISH (ha) worry free! He is just trying to relax and get into a normal routine I suppose.

7. A couple of weeks ago I chopped my long, annoying, unmanageable, thick hair off and donated it to locks of love. I have a short 'do' now and I love it... however, my aunt from Little Rock is in town right now and she cuts hair for a (side job) living. She's about to get ahold of my head and I'm going to let her chop it a littttttle bit shorter so that it is off of my neck. I won't lie when I say I.AM.SCARED. pictures to come. AH!

Hope you are enjoying the last day of the weekend!!
